If it goes to trial I think the guy will be acquitted. From what I gather the only thing he did was that he said, "put the money in the bag". IMO, that's not a threat. And I doubt his hand in pocket was what the tellers claim as a threat, but the security camera tape will be the best proof of that. I think the guy thought that if he got a teller that's slow enough to think it's a robbery and puts the money in the bag so be it. Granted, the guy was trying to get something that he had no right to and neither did the teller have the right to give him the money.
